Projects & Initiatives
_________
ADVENT
The ADVENT project will develop innovative methods and tools for the cost-effective verification of real-world systems software, making it possible to guarantee an unprecedented level of reliability.
_________
Cloud-Based Reactive Infrastructure for Modelling Participatory Sensing Campaigns
This project seeks to develop an application in which end users can collect, collate, and share contextual and environmental knowledge from peer to peer.
_________
Computational models for big data algorithms.
he main goal of this project is the development of a formal foundation, and an accompanying model for scaling up computational complexity, which can be used as a framework in the study of algorithm tractability in the context of big data.
_________
COPLASM
The objective of the CoPlaSM project is to realize a working proof of concept for a multi-standard communication platform for smart metering applications.
_________
DMS2
The DMS2 project aims to create a strategic and practical framework to deal with data management challenges for current and future on-demand software providers in the cloud.
_________
E-Mobility NSR
The E-Mobility NSR (North Sea Region Electric Mobility Network) project aims to provide state-of-the-art information to support policy development in e-mobility in the North Sea Region.
_________
Fallrisk
The FallRisk project aims to utise leading edge ICT technology to reduce the risk seniors face of falling in their homes and to respond promptly to any fall incident.
_________
Formal approach to querying big data
This project aims to develop and study computational models for big data to provide insight into the use of existing systems and to formulate possible improvements and synergies.
_________
FORWARD
The FORWARD project seeks to develop and integrate flexible wireless solutions for industrial applications. These solutions should contribute to efficient wireless communication between production components and increased levels of automation in the factories of the future.
_________
Linear
Local Intelligent Networks and Energy Active Regions (LINEAR) is a large-scale project focusing its research in the area of smart grids.
_________
MonIEFlex
MonIEFlex will define, design and assess new software components which can constitute a new digital architecture for large-scale industrial consumers, which is capable of adjusting the level of consumed power quickly and automatically.
_________
Saving Energy in the ICT Infrastructure
This new development, combined with the ever-present need to develop green ICT has created a new challenge for server end users.
_________
SoloMIDEM
SoLoMIDEM seeks to disover solutions to the challenge of providing highly targeted, context-rich communications that do not harm the confidence and trust of the users, while allowing a diverse range of stakeholders to fully harness the generated data
_________
SWiFT
The SWIFT project aims to maximize the integration of wind turbines in the distribution grid while minimizing the amount of lost wind energy at the lowest possible overall cost.
_________
TraPIST
The TraPIST project seeks to offer train travelers relevant information at the right time and through the most appropriate channel through developing applications for smart devices and public displays which collects, analyzes, classifies and filters data from various sources, based on a dynamic traveler profile.
_________
OpenSaaS
The OpenSaaS project’s goal is to launch a Flemish Open SaaS platform which will assist Business to Business (B2B) SaaS Providers to realize their growth strategies by offering know-how, infrastructures and technologies.
